So... Did my first PowerLifting meet this morning, at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. I competed in the bench only event, and I went 3 for 3 as they say, meaning, I was successful on all 3 attempted lifts. They were as follows: 110 kg (242.5 lb), 122.5 kg (270 lb) and 137.5 kg (303 lb). Woo Hoo! Not bad for an old guy!

Nice job CD! Be proud brother!! 300 club for you!

May I suggest using this app to track your bloodwork tests:

Thanks Kenpo. I had a lot of fun doing it. Getting that 300 bench has been a goal for a while, wasn't entirely sure I could do it. One of my (young) friends was bugging me about "old man strength" last week, I think that may have been a contributing factor.

Chest and legs = fried! Nice work brother! 1100 total is no joke. Where's the spring meet?

Thanks kenpo, my legs were *definitely* toast after that workout. Not sure where the meet I'm looking for is at, somewhere in Alberta though for sure. I think there's typically at least couple in the spring/summer for people wanting to qualify for provincials, which is in the fall. I did bench-only in a meet a couple weeks ago and qualified there but I want to try a 3 lift meet as well, just to see how it goes.

315 squats! Inspirational CD! Have you used iForce Joint Help and glucosamine for you shoulders pains? Really helped me out.

Hey kenpo, thank you! No I haven't tried glucosamine, but I just may. I don't use a lot of supplements so why not. I do go for massage a lot though, my massage guy says I should see a chiro, and he recommended one he works with too. I've always been a bit leery of them but I trust his opinion so that's probably my next stop.

Thanks RegisterJr. I really like them, started about 3 months ago and have made pretty good progress with it so far. I'd like to go heavier but it's kind of hard with dumbbells, and even if my gym had implements it's not set up for it. That's what I get for living in an idyllic small town north of everything.

I did farmers today with a relatively light weight, and my forearms were screaming when I was done. Think I'll do them 2x week from here on.
